Everything on the show just feels lifeless, to be honest. And great matches aren’t the antidote. There’s just nothing really appealing about so many folks on the roster right now. The folks who are over stand out way more than the others, and the fatigue on a lot of folks is starting to show. When you have to get Paul Wight involved, who is sadly obviously hobbled, that’s a bit too much.
Next week? They’re running the Oakland Arena for Rampage/Collision and they only are selling tickets camera side lower bowl. I’m considering going knowing I can get walk up tickets no problem, but have no idea what the show quality is going to be like. There’s just no juice there.
The creative is bad, they’re not doing a good job elevating talent, it seems like even the basic things are falling well short. A lot of odd transitions in matches and between segments. The prevailing idea is they’re spinning their wheels waiting on folks to get healthy and TV money, but considering the resources and the talent, it really feels like they’re fumbling the ball.
